Life is short. Don't let it pass you up!
This is your Golden Gap Year.
Feeling like you've missed your chance at an extended trip? Think again.
Extended travel for the 55+ adventurer ready to explore beautiful places, embrace extraordinary experiences, and welcome serendipity.
What Will Your Golden Gap Year Look Like?
Not a backpack and a bunk bed. Not a rushed “see it all before you can’t.” This is for the 55+ traveller who’s earned their freedom and wants to use it well. It’s more than a long holiday.
After decades of careers, commitments and calendars ruled by other people, this is a deliberate chapter. A stretch of time where experience meets curiosity, and you get to choose the direction. Maybe that’s tracking wildlife across African plains. Maybe it’s slow rail journeys through Europe, learning the rhythm of a new culture, or spending meaningful time in communities far from home. It might even begin closer to home than you expect.
A Golden Gap Year isn’t about racing through a checklist. It’s about travelling with intention. Giving yourself enough time to absorb a place rather than skim it. Designing a journey that feels expansive, not exhausting. Adventure doesn’t retire. It just gets smarter, more considered, and infinitely more interesting.
Designed for This Stage of Life
A Golden Gap Year is extended travel for those 55 and over, a season of life where time opens up again.
Three months. Six months. A year.
It blends bucket-list destinations with slower, richer exploration. Safaris. Cultural immersion. Rail journeys. Time to absorb.
